Glengariffe Cove, County Cork & Herons in Reedbed

Belleek Pottery, 1863–1890

Both hand painted large wall plaques date from the first period of manufacture at the Belleek pottery, County Fermanagh. The landscape plaque was probably painted by the most famous Belleek painter, Eugene Sheerin, and the scene was no doubt chosen as Isabella Hamilton was going to live in County Cork after her marriage.
